Sapphire Technologies and Honeywell UOP have announced a strategic partnership to enhance energy recovery in refineries. Under this collaboration, Sapphire Technologies will serve as the exclusive supplier of turboexpanders for Honeywell UOP’s electrification initiatives in pressure letdown applications.

The partnership aims to help refineries and petrochemical plants recover waste pressure and convert it into clean electricity using Sapphire’s FreeSpin® In-line Turboexpander technology. Each unit can generate up to 300kW, reducing CO₂ emissions and improving operational efficiency while cutting costs.

By integrating advanced energy recovery solutions, this collaboration supports the transition to more sustainable refinery operations, promoting environmental responsibility and economic benefits across the industry.
